Ranked: The Longest Surviving Characters On The Walking Dead

The nature of The Walking Dead characters meant that it was likely none of the ones there at the beginning would still be there at the end, leaving the question of who survives The Walking Dead up in the air. With Rick Grimes — the one character everyone thought was safe — leaving the show, there were only two characters left from season 1. It’s almost become an unspoken competition among the characters to see who can last the most episodes between their introduction and their death (or the actor getting a new opportunity).
